I went to Pho Vietnam in Danbury recently - the food was yummy and the people who worked there were very sweet. It was not a fancy place, but heck, we are talking about Pho! I've heard there are some places in New Haven, but I haven't tried them yet.

I had to go to East Hartford today but, to my great sadness, Pho 501 is closed on Mondays. Still, I pressed my nose to the glass and saw a woman inside, sorting out all sorts of delicious greens on the tables. I guess she makes up the assortments you get with each bowl of pho in advance. Probably a great time saver, but I do hope she gets some time off from work. I'm going to have to think up an excuse to get back up that way!
